`StandardPaths` provides the utility class with the most common system- and user- related directories.

Features
• All major distributions: Windows, Linux, MacOS (not yet, no access to MacOS right now)
• Ease of use
• NIO-based
• Lightweight (~10kb)
• JDK8+ support

Usage:
```
Path home = StandardPaths.home();
Path cache = StandardPaths.cache();
```

Someone mentioned `AppDirs` library few weeks ago, I thought about contributing (few advanced methods of retrieving paths with WinAPI), but `AppDirs` is JDK6+ based with WinXP support, while I'm trying to utilize JDK7 NIO as much as I could (e.g. `Path` better than `File` better than `String`) with modern OSes in mind. API difference:
```
Path home = StandardPaths.dataLocal().resolve("&lt;author&gt;/&lt;app&gt;/&lt;ver&gt;")
```
vs
```
Path home = Paths.get(AppDirsFactory.getInstance().getUserDataDir("&lt;app&gt;", "&lt;ver&gt;", "&lt;author&gt;", true)));
```

Very nice library! However "lightweight" is a bit misleading, because of its 2.5MB transitive jni dependency

I was thinking about it too, that's why I mentioned it twice: core library (single utility class), and one heavy dependency (jna).
